A very scarce book in exceptional condition. Illustrations of the Fungi of Our Fields and Woods, drawn from natural specimens by Sarah Price. This book is the second of a series and the more difficult to find of the two. Published 1865 by Lovell, Reeve & Co., Covent Garden, England.
Beautiful color illustrations as if they were the original watercolours by Sarah Price. Green textured pictorial cloth cover in excerllent condition. 20 plates of color, several fungi to each plate.
One would think this book was only a few years old to look at it, but was published as the War of the States was coming to an end.
